The Reaming of Life Philip Bourne, University of California, San Diego Anyone can punch a hole in a piece of metal, but a reamer is needed to accurately size and finish that hole. Digital computers are the reamers of life, bringing together a vast array of disparate bits of data to provide an accurate picture of life that can be smoothly transcended across scalesΓÇöfrom molecules to populations. Sounds heady, so why do we not fully understand the molecular basis of cancer? Why canΓÇÖt we accurately model the impact of an oil spill on marine life? Why canΓÇÖt we decide whether there is a tree of life or a network of life? 'Well tonight we are going to sort it all out, for tonight itΓÇÖs the reaming of life.'
